UN is unable to independently verify, since IDF keeps killing their staff. So they had to change how they verify deaths, which reclassified the people killed, not the total number of people killed. It's a moot point anyway, since Palestinian figures are known to be highly credible. They have plenty of reasons to be diligent about it, and zero reasons to invent stuff.

Here's your trustworthy UN

and btw, the UN minisrty of health is getting their numbers from Hamas, so I guess if you trust Hamas, it is what it is
Still waiting for that video to be independently verified. So far, no major corporate news network ran that video since they are unable to verify it.
I do trust Hamas for the number of dead. They literally have a proven track record of keeping an accurate count that was independently verified after past Israeli crimes. After the Hamas attack, Israel let people in to independently verify the number of killed, yet they prevent the same for when they kill. Why?
And it's ironic that a random video gets more coverage than children getting murdered on mass. All the Israel supporters are clinging to this video like it's some vindication and justification for the genocide being committed. It's not. If you care more about being right than children being brutally murdered, you are the problem in this world.
Oh, I see, just like they were honest when they said Israel blew up a hospital, and they raided another hospital and put like 300 people in a mass grave huh? Right...kick rocks
